NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 

Request for Information (RFI) on NSF 

Public Access Plan 2.0: Ensuring 

Open, Immediate, and Equitable 

Access to National Science 

Foundation Funded Research; 

Correction 

AGENCY: National Science Foundation 

(NSF). 

ACTION: Request for information; 

correction. 

SUMMARY: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF) published a 

document in the Federal Register of 

November 16, 2023, concerning a 

request for public input from the 

science and engineering research and 

education community on implementing 

NSF Public Access Plan 2.0: Ensuring 

Open, Immediate, and Equitable Access 

to National Science Foundation Funded 

Research. The links in the notice for the 

request for information and 

documentation did not publish; this 

notice serves to provide those links. The 

rest of the notice is being published in 

whole. This plan, described in 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, represents 

an update to NSF current public access 

requirements in response to recent 

White House Office of Science and 

Technology Policy guidance. A primary 

consideration during the development 

of NSF’s plan has been potential equity 

impacts of public access requirements. 

NSF’s goal is to improve equity 

throughout the research life cycle, 

making data and opportunities available 

to all researchers, including those from 

marginalized communities and 

historically under-resourced institutions 

of higher education in the U.S. NSF is 

committed to considering the needs of 

the diverse US research community, 

including identifying possible 

unintended consequences that the plan 

and its implementation could produce. 

DATES: Interested persons or 

organizations are invited to submit 

comments on or before 11:59 p.m. (EST) 

on Friday, January 19, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: The preferred method of 

response is to complete as much of the 

online RFI (https://www.surveymonkey.

com/r/NSFpublicaccessplan) as you 

wish. However, if you cannot or do not 

wish to access this tool, comments 

submitted in response to this notice may

Equitable Access to Federally Funded 

Research (https://www.whitehouse.gov/

Broadly, Public Access Plan 2.0: 

Ensuring Open, Immediate, and 

Equitable Access to National Science 

Foundation Funded Research describes 

how: 

• all peer-reviewed scholarly 

publications resulting from NSF-funded 

research will be made freely available 

and publicly accessible by default in the 

NSF Public Access Repository, or NSF– 

PAR (https://par.nsf.gov/), without 

embargo; 

• such publications will be accessible 

for assistive technologies; 

• scientific data associated with peerreviewed publications resulting from 

NSF awards will be made available in 

disciplinary repositories; 

• exceptions to the data-sharing 

requirements will be made based on 

legal, privacy, ethical, intellectual 

property and national security 

considerations; and 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 235 / Friday, December 8, 2023 / Notices 85665 

• persistent identifiers, or PIDs, and 

other critical information associated 

with peer-reviewed publications and 

data resulting from NSF-funded 

research will be collected and made 

publicly available in NSF–PAR. 

NSF is committed to ensuring that its 

approach to public access enhances 

equity in the science and engineering 

ecosystem and wants to understand any 

potential barriers that may be faced by 

researchers in complying with new 

public access requirements. Responses 

may suggest areas of particular interest 

to the research community that inspire 

future NSF funding opportunities and 

development plans for NSF–PAR. 

NSF seeks responses from all 

interested individuals and communities 

including—but not limited to— 

individual researchers, research 

institutions, libraries, scholarly 

societies, scholarly publishers, early 

career researchers, and students/ 

educators. NSF is particularly interested 

in hearing from researchers new to 

public access at NSF, new to open 

science practices more generally, or 

working in fields or institutions with 

unique challenges in complying with 

public access requirements, to ensure 

that NSF is well-positioned to fully 

consider potential equity impacts as the 

plan is implemented.
